Bridging the Skills Gap: Evaluating an AI-Assisted Provider Platform to Support Care Providers with Empathetic Delivery of Protocolized Therapy.

Despite the high prevalence and burden of mental health conditions, there is a global shortage of mental health providers. Artificial Intelligence (AI) methods have been proposed as a way to address this shortage, by supporting providers with less extensive training as they deliver care. To this end, we developed the AI-Assisted Provider Platform (A2P2), a text-based virtual therapy interface that includes a response suggestion feature, which supports providers in delivering protocolized therapies empathetically.

Sialendoscopy Findings Associated with Positive Minor Salivary Gland Biopsy.

Objectives: To determine the sialendoscopy findings associated with positive findings on minor salivary gland biopsy.

Study Design: Single-center retrospective study.

Methods: Patients ≥18 years old who underwent sialendoscopy from 2016 to 2022 and were evaluated for SS via labial minor salivary gland biopsy.

Understanding Patient Experience with Outpatient Cancer Rehabilitation Care.

Background: Understanding patient experience is key to optimize access and quality of outpatient cancer rehabilitation (physical or occupational therapy, PT/OT) services.

Methods: We performed a retrospective mixed-method analysis of rehabilitation medical record data to better understand patient experience and aspects of care that influenced experience. From the medical record, we extracted case characteristics, patient experience data (Net Promoter Survey, NPS) and patient-reported outcome (PRO) data.

Community-based outpatient cancer rehabilitation services for women with gynecologic cancer: acceptability and impact on patient-reported outcomes.

Objective: Women with gynecologic cancers often experience functional impairments impacting quality of life. Physical and occupational therapy (PT/OT) treat functional impairment; however, the acceptability and impact of these services for women with gynecologic cancer are unknown.

Methods: We reviewed rehabilitation charts of women with gynecologic cancer who received PT/OT (i.

Sexual Behaviors and Health Practices Among Student Service Members and Veterans.

The purpose of the study was to determine whether veteran students and non-veteran students differed in their sexual behaviors and health practices and, furthermore, whether or not those differences were gender specific. Demographic characteristics of the study sample were explored by calculating frequencies and percentages by military service status. Research questions were explored with maximum likelihood multiple logistic regression.

When women veterans return: The role of postsecondary education in transition in their civilian lives.

The purpose of this study was to assess the current state of postsecondary educational settings' outreach to military women who become students postservice. Data for the present cross-sectional study were obtained from the American College Health Association's (ACHA) 2011-2014 National College Health Assessment II (NCHA). Demographic characteristics of the study sample were explored by calculating frequencies and percentages by military service status.

Oral health among student veterans: Effects on mental and physical health.

The purpose of this study was to explore differences in oral health among students by military service status in postsecondary settings. Secondary data were obtained from the American College Health Association's 2011-2014 National College Health Assessment II. Demographic characteristics of the study sample were explored by calculating frequencies and percentages by military service status.

The Potential of Information Technology to Navigate Caregiving Systems: Perspectives from Dementia Caregivers.

Technologies designed to support caregivers of adults with Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (AD/RD) have been developing at an increasingly rapid pace. However, little remains known about caregivers' perspectives on how technologies can and should help them navigate larger service systems they interact with to engage in caregiving. This study involved in-depth interviews and a beta test of an AD/RD caregiver app to learn more about how they currently use technologies and how potential technological features and functions can best meet their needs.

Predicting hand function in older adults: evaluations of grip strength, arm curl strength, and manual dexterity.

Background: Hand function is critical for independence in activities of daily living for older adults.

Aims: The purpose of this study was to examine how grip strength, arm curl strength, and manual dexterous coordination contributed to time-based versus self-report assessment of hand function in community-dwelling older adults.

Methods: Adults aged ≥60 years without low vision or neurological disorders were recruited.
